Siege mortars were plifered from Federal armories during the Wah of Northun Agresshun. 8 inch, 10 inch, 13 inch...perhaps a relic from one of these?

I don't think Texas ever had anything that size. Most of what was captured from the northern aggressors was kept in the east where most of the fighting took place.

There was a fort which was used to block boat traffic on the Trinity river, but I don't think they had anything that size. They wouldn't be able to move it to keep up with the boats movement, it would pretty much be a one shot deal.
